Candice R. Burke

Born: St. Charles, Missouri, September 17, 1985

I knew I wanted to be a lawyer since the age of fourteen. A Civics teacher
had convinced me to sign up for a program called Youth in Government.
I did this for three years and became more involved each year. I was nominated
by the program as a Supreme Court Judge my senior year. I then obtained
a job as an Assistant at a law office.

I always had a strong desire to have a say when it came to injustice. My
love for justice and compassion for anyone and everyone made the practice
of law ideal for me.

I attended Lindenwood University and obtained my degree in Political Science
as well as in Religion. My professors were instrumental in my development
as a strong competitor and a compassionate, listening individual. I immediately
attended St. Louis University Law School while I continued to work in
a law firm. During law school, I worked on the Child Advocacy Project.

My experience, while in school, taught me that I was a lawyer who needed
to help those who are not always given a voice. Immediately out of law
school, I spent a brief period of time working for a defense firm before
moving over to Coyne, Cundiff & Hillemann, P.C.

Since being at Coyne, Cundiff & Hillemann, I have primarily been working
on Workers' Compensation, Personal Injury and Discrimination Claims.
My favorite part of being a lawyer is spending time with my clients. Each
person is unique to me and I love to get to know everyone. I listen to
their story and dig deep into the emotions that come along with their
injuries. My goal is to ensure my clients have a lawyer who listens because
only then can I truly advocate on their behalf.
